We’ll dish on our secret recipe for low-maintenance parties: it starts with great online party invitations. Grab a plate, make some snacks, and invite your friends for some great conversation by sending them an online party invitation from Paperless Post. We have templates for every setting and style, from festive baby shower invitations to election night invites.

How to make online party invitations

Paperless Post invitations are the easiest party invitation templates around. Choose a Card for its formality and have fun customizing the font, colors, envelope liner, stamp, and more. Or try a casual Flyer that you can customize to fit your party’s theme and colors. Once your online invitations are complete, send them to your guest list via text, email, or shareable link. Our RSVP tracking keeps count of every guest and lets you send a friendly reminder to those that haven’t responded.

When do you send party invitations?

After deciding on a theme and a date, the next step is figuring out how far in advance to send your creatively customized online party invitations. Two weeks ahead is the general timeline for casual hangouts, and around four to eight weeks for formal parties. If you’re keen on having a huge turnout, use one of our save the dates to get everyone on board nice and early, and then send official invites later.

What do you put on a digital party invitation?

If you’re throwing a laid-back bash, there aren’t too many rules you need to follow in terms of what goes into your party invitations. Just make sure to include the date, time, address, and dress code if applicable. RSVP features are a bonus when using Paperless Post, which means as soon as a guest clicks yes, you’ll be able to see their confirmation. Other than that, feel free to get creative with it!

Pick a theme for your party

Don’t have a reason to get people together? We can give you one! Because frankly, needing a reason to party is so passé. We believe “just because” is enough to get your best people together. Plan a '90s theme party, a brunch get-together, host a groovy game night, or throw a '80s theme party potluck. These fun gatherings prove you don’t need a holiday for an excuse to connect with friends and family. Once you’ve found the perfect party invitation for your get-together, let Paperless Post’s platform do the hard work. Our tools help you stay organized with sophisticated RSVP tracking, guest messaging features, and follow-up reminders. Once the fun is all said and done, send an online thank you card for taking the time to get together. It’s that easy!

Party in the great outdoors

Planning to entertain outdoors? We don’t only offer amazing invite designs and templates, but we also offer tips on hosting an effortless outdoor party. Gather in the garden for a barbecue and don’t forget buckets of beers and cheese dips. Browse our picnic invitations for a midday soirée in the park or our dinner party invitations for a formal al fresco dining experience.
